Chapter 191: Meeting the parents (2)
Or at least that was what I thought.
Long Shui Ling told me that they were already expecting me for dinner tonight.
I really didn\'t like how they had decided everything on their own, but there was no time to think about that right now.
What I should focus on was this meeting with Long Shui Ling\'s parents.
So the first thing that I did was head home and dress up as well as I could.
It was just that I didn\'t have that kind of fancy clothes in the first place. The only suit that I had was the one that I had prepared for finding a job if I didn\'t manage to awaken myself and it was a very cheap suit.
This kind of suit in front of the richest people in the world was considered nothing.
As I was preparing myself, a voice suddenly said, "Are you nervous?"
This voice wasn\'t a voice that was speaking out loud, but rather a voice that was speaking right into my head.
It was Lilith that had suddenly spoken.
By now, I was already used to this, so I wasn\'t that caught off guard.
But of course, it was impossible for me to remain calm when there was a voice that suddenly spoke in my head while I was focusing.
I couldn\'t help messing up the tie that I had been working on.
I took a deep breath to calm down before saying, "How could I be anything but nervous? This is a very dangerous meeting that I\'m about to head into."
Lilith gave a chuckle before saying, "Why are you so worried when you are the demon king of lust? It\'s very simple, just use your powers and they will fall under your control. Wouldn\'t that make things much easier for you in the future?"
I knitted my brows when I heard this before shaking my head and saying, "We\'ve already been over this. If I do that, that will immediately expose me as the demon king of lust. When the time comes, that will cause more trouble than it saves."
Lilith gave a scoff before saying, "As the demon king of lust, is there anything that you can\'t handle."
I gave a sigh before saying, "There\'s plenty of things that I can\'t handle. Just being the demon king of lust is far from enough."
Lilith gave another scoff, but she didn\'t say anything else.
When she fell silent, I said, "When the time comes, I will need your help. I might need your new powers today."
She said with a seductive smile, "I\'ve chosen you as my champion, so all of my powers are yours. You don\'t need to ask me, all you have to do is give me a command, my king."
I couldn\'t help being surprised by this, but I just said with a simple nod, "I\'ll be counting on you."
I never knew just how much I had underestimated this…
…
When I had finished preparing, it was time to go.
Long Shui Ling said that she would send someone to pick me up, but I couldn\'t help being surprised by who had been sent.
It was the butler who had picked her up last time, the one that she had called Sebastien.
When I came out, I could see the disappointed look on his face.
It was clear that he wasn\'t happy to see me, but he was here because it was his job.
He didn\'t say anything to me as he opened the door for me. But while he was opening the door, he didn\'t even look in my direction.
At this point, he couldn\'t do more to express his disdain for me.
I could guess why he felt this disdain, but it was still uncomfortable being treated like this.
So I just quickly sat down in the limo while avoiding the gazes from around me.
The neighbours had once again gathered because of the fancy limo that appeared.
Mrs Li had even come out with makeup on since she had thought that it was someone else.
But she was disappointed to find that it wasn\'t the handsome driver from before.
We quickly headed off after I got into the limo and the window separating me from the driver was up.
I wasn\'t the one that had put up this window, it was Sebastien who had done this.
It seemed that he didn\'t even want to give me a chance to talk to him…
So we drove in silence for a bit until we reached a Transport Gate
I was surprised that we had arrived at a Transport Gate and a secret one nonetheless.
This was one that wasn\'t marked and was hidden in the basement of a large business building.
If I had to guess, this was most likely one of the branch offices of the Long Group.
For even a branch office to have a Transport Gate in the basement, one could tell just how powerful the Long Group was.
This just made me even more anxious.
As we headed into the Transport Gate, I couldn\'t help feeling worried as well.
After all, there was the chance that I was being brought somewhere remote to be killed.
But when we came out, I saw the luxurious manor in front of the car.
However, this wasn\'t what I was surprised by.
What I was surprised by was beyond that manor.
What I was surprised by was the endless sea that was all around us.
This manor…it was on an island and it seemed to be an undiscovered island in the middle of the ocean.
To use this place as a private residence, as expected of the Long Group.
They really had more money than they knew what to do with.
